Indulge in the savory blend of kale, roasted tempeh, and mushrooms in this delectable salad. A burst of flavors awaits in each bite.

Ingredients:

4 Tbsp. white miso, divided
3 Tbsp. soy sauce, divided
⅓ cup plus 3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
1 8-oz. block tempeh, torn into 1½" pieces
8 oz. mixed mushrooms (shiitake, crimini, button, oyster, and/or beech), torn or cut into 1½" pieces
2 garlic cloves, finely grated
2 Tbsp. fresh lime juice
2 Tbsp. pure maple syrup
2 large bunches Tuscan kale, ribs and stems removed, leaves coarsely chopped
½ medium Persian cucumber, thinly sliced on a diagonal
½ cup basil leaves and/or cilantro leaves with tender stems

Preheat the oven to 425°. Combine 3 tablespoons of white miso and 2 tablespoons of soy sauce in a large bowl. Mix in 1/3 cup of extra-virgin olive oil until well blended. Add one 8-ounce block of tempeh, ripped into 1 1/2-inch pieces, and 8 ounces of mixed mushrooms (such as shiitake, crimini, button, oyster, and/or beech), torn or cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces, and toss until coated. Place them on a baking sheet with raised edges, spreading them out evenly; keep the bowl for later use. Roast the tempeh and mushrooms until they turn a deep golden brown, for about 20-25 minutes.
While the tempeh and mushrooms are roasting, whisk together 2 cloves of minced garlic, 2 tablespoons of fresh lime juice, 2 tablespoons of pure maple syrup, the remaining 3 tablespoons of extra-virgin olive oil, 1 tablespoon of white miso, and 1 tablespoon of soy sauce in the reserved bowl until well combined. Add 2 large bunches of Tuscan kale, with ribs and stems removed and leaves roughly chopped. Toss to coat the leaves. Gently massage the leaves with your hands until they soften, which takes about 4 minutes.
Transfer the roasted tempeh and mushrooms back to the bowl. Add 1/2 of a medium Persian cucumber, thinly sliced diagonally, and 1/2 cup of basil leaves and/or cilantro leaves with the tender stems. Toss everything together to combine.
